How to Use ShareThis Tools with Your AI Agent
Our ShareThis MCP server lets you connect your ShareThis account to AI tools that support the Model Context Protocol, also known as MCP.
Once connected, your AI agent can help you manage your ShareThis properties, configure ShareThis tools, validate domains, review tool settings, and preview saved output directly from your AI workflow.
You can also visit https://mcp.sharethis.com for additional MCP documentation, server details, and technical setup information.
You can use ShareThis MCP with AI tools that support remote MCP servers, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Manus, and other MCP-compatible clients.
Before you begin
Before connecting ShareThis MCP, make sure you have:
- A ShareThis Platform account.
- Access to an AI tool that supports remote MCP servers.
- An AI tool that supports OAuth-based account authorization.
- Permission to connect your ShareThis account to the AI tool.
Use the following ShareThis MCP server URL: https://mcp.sharethis.com
You’ll be prompted to authorize your ShareThis account during the setup process.
How to Connect ShareThis MCP
The exact setup steps may vary depending on the AI tool you’re using, but the general process is usually the same.
- Open the apps, connectors, integrations, or MCP settings area in your AI tool.
- Choose the option to add a custom, remote, or MCP-compatible server.
- Enter the ShareThis MCP server URL:
https://mcp.sharethis.com - Complete the ShareThis OAuth login and authorization flow.
- After the connection is complete, ask your AI agent to list the available ShareThis tools or manage your ShareThis properties.
For supported MCP clients, you do not need to manually enter a bearer token. Instead, you should authorize your ShareThis account through the OAuth connection flow.

Your AI agent may ask for confirmation before making changes, depending on the AI tool you’re using and its permission settings.
Important Installation Note
ShareThis MCP can help you configure and manage ShareThis tools, but your website still needs the correct ShareThis installation code.
For most ShareThis tools, you’ll need to make sure the ShareThis script is installed in your website’s section.
Some inline tools, such as Inline Share Buttons, Follow Buttons, and Reaction Buttons, also require a placement tag where you want the tool to appear on the page.
If your AI agent configures a ShareThis tool but it does not appear on your website, check that the correct installation code and placement tags have been added to your site.
Domande Frequenti
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is a standard that allows AI agents to connect with external tools and services.
We use MCP so compatible AI tools can connect to your ShareThis account and help you manage ShareThis properties and tools.
Not necessarily. Many AI tools let you connect to MCP servers through a simple settings page and then use natural language prompts.
However, you may still need access to your website if you need to add or update the ShareThis installation code.
Yes. You can connect ShareThis MCP to more than one MCP-compatible AI tool, as long as each tool supports remote MCP servers and OAuth authorization.
Each connection should be authorized through your own ShareThis account.
No. You should not share your password or manually paste private tokens into an AI chat.
For supported MCP clients, use the OAuth authorization flow to securely connect your ShareThis account.
Ask your AI agent to list the available tools.
Example prompt:
List the available ShareThis MCP tools.
Your AI tool can use the MCP tools/list command to discover the current ShareThis tools and input options.
